Jamie Lenman tracked this entire album in single-day sessions, nothing beyond four takes, and it sounds exactly that raw. Seven different studios, five producers, three years of intermittent work, then a final master at The Ranch in Southampton. The result is spiky, confrontational rock that veers from sludge-tempo riffs to tight punk bursts without much interest in smoothing the joins.
Titles like "I'm A Cunt" and "Lose Weight For Weddings" give a fair sense of the tone. Lenman handles all instruments himself and leans into abrasive guitar tones, half-shouted vocals and a refusal to sand down the awkward edges. "Sludgehammer" drags its tempo through distortion; "Movies On TV" picks up pace but keeps the same caustic energy. It is uneven by design, each track feeling like a separate argument rather than part of a unified statement.
The whole thing was funded by Patreon supporters and released for free, which explains both the piecemeal recording approach and the lack of commercial compromise. If you want UK alternative rock that sounds like it was made in defiance of playlists and algorithms, this delivers. Not an easy listen, but deliberately so.
